The Department of Commerce has decided to cancel the review of the antidumping duties on certain hot-rolled steel products from Turkey for the period from October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020. This decision came after the original requesters, a group of steel companies, withdrew their application for the review within the allowed time frame. The department will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess the previously applied antidumping duties and remind importers of their duty to follow regulations regarding these duties. Additionally, this notice serves as a reminder for parties to handle information properly under administrative protective orders.

The Department of Commerce conducted a review of the antidumping duty order on steel nails from Oman. They concluded that if the order were removed, it would likely lead to continued dumping, with margins up to 9.10%. This review included analysis of previous findings, public comments, and a hearing. The final decision ensures that the antidumping order remains in place to prevent unfair pricing practices.

The U.S. Department of Commerce released a correction to a previous notice about the results of a 2022 review related to countervailing duties on wooden cabinets from China. The original notice, published on November 12, 2024, did not list the companies associated with The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd. The correction clarifies that Jiangsu Hongjia Wood Co., Ltd., its Shanghai Branch, and Jiangsu Yunru Technology Industry Co., Ltd. are cross-owned with Ancientree. This update ensures accurate representation of the involved parties in the trade compliance document.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is notifying the public about scope ruling applications they have received. These applications involve requests for determinations on whether certain products are subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. In November 2024, scope rulings were requested for products such as wood mouldings, millwork from China, and aluminum extrusions from China. Interested parties are invited to participate in the scope inquiries and can find further information and instructions on the Commerce department's website.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of sales by Industeel Belgium S.A. during May 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023, and found that the company sold steel plates in the U.S. at prices below normal value. These findings result in an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the company, which means they will have to pay antidumping duties on their products. The Commerce Department will disclose the calculations behind these results within five days of publication and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection on how to assess these duties. The cash deposit rates for future shipments from Industeel and other producers will be adjusted based on these results.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that aluminum wire and cable (AWC) products completed in South Korea, using components made in China, are circumventing the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on AWC from China. As a result, these Korean products are being included in these orders, which are meant to protect U.S. producers from unfair competition due to underpriced imports. Importers and exporters must provide certifications to Customs and Border Protection if they want to avoid the suspension of their goods and additional duties, ensuring that their products do not contain components from China. These measures apply from October 19, 2023, onwards, to all affected products.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that cold-rolled steel products from Korea were not sold in the U.S. at prices lower than normal between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023. As a result, two Korean companies, Hyundai Steel and POSCO, will not face any antidumping duties, and neither will another Korean company that wasn't individually reviewed, KG Dongbu. The final results, unchanged from the preliminary ones, mean no additional calculations are disclosed, and cash deposits for certain shipments will be zero or vary based on past rates. This notice also reminds importers about filing requirements related to antidumping duties.

The U.S. Department of Commerce concluded that during the review period from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023, Indian producers/exporters of carbazole violet pigment 23 did not sell their products in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. This review led to a decision that these companies, including Meghmani and Navpad, will not face additional antidumping duties, and Gharda Chemicals Ltd. will also benefit from a zero percent margin. Future shipments will have a cash deposit rate of 0.00 percent because no changes were made from the earlier preliminary findings.
